Accessibility tips
Get the biggest reach possible
- Use Twitter’s descriptive text functionality to describe images for people who are visually impaired.
- Keep links in full rather than scrambling them with a link shortener, so that users know where they are being directed to.
- If using video content with audio, add subtitles so that the video can be understood without sound.
